It is a general and master swordsman of the demon world.

Characteristics

Major disasters are very muscular Demons with dark grey skin. Their most distinctive feature is their majestic white facial hair, which consists of a bushy handlebar mustache and a pointed beard. They wear a heavy suit of yellow and purple armour, yellow horned skullcaps, yellow gloves and boots, and a flowing grey cape with light green lining. The Majors carry their longswords at their sides in scabbards, which they are able to draw quickly to attack. They have the uncannily awesome ability to cast Kazing, allowing them to raise their fallen allies in battle, even if their Defence buff booster Kabuff doesn't already succeed in securing their success in battle.

Trivia

The attack animations of the major disaster, along with captain catastrophe, are based on the practice of iaijutsu, where a swordsman is capable of drawing their katana from its scabbard, striking or slashing an opponent, shaking blood off of the blade, then replacing the sword in its scabbard all with smooth, controlled movements.
